After being dumped and humiliated over the summer, Cat
Turner does what any sane girl would do. She asks bad boy Alex Locke to be her
fake boyfriend and show the world (and her editor at the school newspaper) that
she’s fine. Problem is, the more time she spends with Alex, the more she risks
getting her heart broken. For real this time.

Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book contains a swoony
bad boy who will melt your heart, brownies, and witty banter. One, two, or all
three might prove addictive…

My review: 4 starsFriends-to-lovers is always one of my favorite tropes, and The Heartbreak Cure combines it with a fun fauxmance for a really sweet enjoyable YA story. I loved Alex- poor guy, his childhood is really tragic and I wanted to reach in the book and give him a big hug. Cat is a great character- someone I'd want to be friends with. I enjoyed the side characters too, in particular Cat's mom and Alex's boss Joe and his grandmother Birdie. Lots of witty dialog and swoony moments- a great read!

writing won’t interfere with her Netflix schedule.
